As important as the right running attire, footwear and nutrition is to the runner, the need for eye protection against the harmful side of running in all that exquisite sunshine is equally key. It is said that without eye protection, by the time you turn 60-years-old, your eyes will be exposed to as much UV light as is created by a nuclear blast!
When shopping for sunglasses, remember that good sunglasses are about eye protection. First decide when and how you wear your sunglasses; then choose a lens material, lens color, frame material and frame style that offer the most comfortable features for the marathon ahead.
